St. Paul’s Evangelical Church / Taft’s Ale House Location: Cincinnati, OH Schedule: May 2014 – January 2015 Cost: $500,225 Type of Project: Historic Preservation, Facade & Building Envelope Architect: City Studios Constructed in 1850, St. Paul’s German Evangelical Church was once the oldest Protestant parish in Cincinnati. The congregation abandoned it in the late 1970’s, leaving a ghostly ruin. Once a prominent church in the neighborhood, the building has been abandoned for many years with much of it exposed to the elements. Emergency stabilization was carried out in the 1980’s to give the building a short-term reprieve. In 2012, the roof collapsed and SSRG was contracted to stabilize the building. SSRG worked with the general contractor to stabilize this historic church at the corner of 15th and Race Street in Over-the-Rhine. SSRG’s work has ensured that the building remained safe and ready for future renovation. The church went on to become the Taft’s Ale House, a local brewery and restaurant.
